Former Edwin Allen standout Rushana Dwyer will be competing on the NCAA Division 1 circuit next season after transferring to the University of South Florida (USF).

Dwyer competed on the NJCAA circuit for the last two seasons for South Plains Community College in Texas.

In 2023, Dwyer ran 2:10.63 to take top spot in the 800m at the NJCAA Championships in New Mexico while also running as part of South Plains’ title-winning 4x400m relay quartet.

This year, Dwyer established new personal best in the 400m both indoors and outdoors.

Her outdoor personal best of 53.68 came in a winning effort at the Texas Tech Corky/Crofoot Shootout in Texas in April while her indoor mark of 55.64 came in a third-place finish at the Jarvis Scott Open, also in Texas, in February.

Her 800m personal best 2:08.27 came back in 2022.
